Words Poorly Used #9 — Private Sector

I quote my alter ego, Verbal Vol, from his upcoming EVC column, Finding the Challenges:” … there is no private sector; the entities cited are defined by the public (state) sector, in effect they are subsidiaries of the state. If the state did not believe they were beholden to the state, they would have no reference to them. The state only talks about those things it supposes itself to control. The private sector is an euphemism for the outcomes of crony capitalism. The private sector is just another ring of authoritarianism, from which we are told how it’s going to be and that we had better like it or lump it.” — Verbal Vol
